DISABLEMEDIA property
Setting the DISABLEMEDIA property prevents the installer from registering any media source, such as a CD-ROM, as a valid source for the product. If browsing is enabled, however, a user may still browse to a media source.
Remarks
Note that the DISABLEMEDIA property has a different effect than setting the DisableMedia policy. Setting DISABLEMEDIA prevents the registration of any media source, and this also prevents the first time installation of an application from a media sources.
For details about securing the media sources of managed application against browsing and installation by non-administrative users, see Source Resiliency.
